[ The seal, the Velvet Room, the contract ... it's all beyond Mitsuru's understanding of Kotone's circumstances. Perhaps, one day, they'd be able to talk through it all, but Mitsuru doesn't need to know everything to understand the end result that Kotone fears.
[ ... she's scared of it, too. Terrified.
[ She removes her hand from Yukari's cheek, briefly glancing in the other girl's direction as though asking for her leave to focus all of her attention on Kotone. When her focus shifts back to Kotone, Mitsuru cups her cheeks with both hands.
[ She leans in and kisses Kotone again. Her lips part as she allows the slow, gentle kiss to grow deeper and deeper, pouring every ounce of affection and warmth that she can muster into it until, finally, the need for air forces her to pull back. Even then, she doesn't move far. Just far enough that she can look Kotone in the eyes. ]
Whatever happens when our mission here comes to an end ... I've already allowed this -- allowed us -- to slip through my fingers once before, and I'm not going to let that happen again.

I won't let you go.
